[NoHo Arts District, CA] – Who is keeping NoHo clean and safe? It is not the City! It is the NOHO Business Improvement District (NOHO BID) who took on the responsibility for cleaning our sidewalks, removing trash and graffiti, and keeping crime down.
Do you know the NoHo BID?
The NoHo Arts District is an arts district because of the theatres, dance studios, recording studios and the many folks who create art. It stays an arts district because of these performing and visual artists. But there is one group that has helped to #KeepNoHoArtsy (and clean and safe) – the NoHo Business Improvement District (NOHO BID).
In 2007, NoHo property owners and the City of Los Angeles joined forces to create a not-for-profit 501 C 6 organization to reduce crime, increase property values and to make the NoHo Arts District a better place to live, work, invest and enjoy.
Here is the NOHO BID’s 2023 update! See what they’ve done for the neighborhood!

SAFETY Services
Safety Ambassadors who you see with yellow t-shirts and on bikes visibly patrol the District and act as eyes and ears of our community. Ambassadors help to deter anti-social behavior and low-level crimes. They work closely with local law enforcement and the City on District issues including sanitation and homeless encampments.
COMMUNICATION and MARKETING Services
In conjunction with NoHo Communications Group/NoHoArtsDistrict.com, the NOHO BID created the NOHO Card/App business discount program and has taken an active role in producing NoHo Day, CicLAmini, Alfresco Entertainment and NoHo Plaza Summer Concert series.
“On a personal note, I have worked with the NOHO BID since 2007 and I have witnessed their determination and dedication to growing the NoHo Arts District into a cultural tourist and entertainment destination including getting METRO Redline to our District,” says NoHo Arts District publisher Nancy Bianconi.
